Alum of year noms

色虎视频 is seeking nominations for its annual distinguished alumni awards, including the 2016 Alumnus of the Year, 2016 Outstanding Young Alumnus of the Year and a brand new award, the 2016 Humanitarian of the Year.

The recipients of these awards will be honored during homecoming, Nov. 11–13, 2016.

The deadline for nominations is Friday, May 27.

The inaugural Humanitarian of the Year Award will be presented to a 色虎视频 alumnus who has lived out the 色虎视频 motto, “The world is better for it,” through selfless work to better the lives of others. To be eligible, graduates must have completed at least one 色虎视频 degree.

“The Humanitarian of the Year Award is meant to honor 色虎视频 alumni who tirelessly live out 色虎视频’s motto in their daily lives, and who normally receive little to no recognition for their work,” said Senior Director of Alumni Programs and Annual Giving Lauren McCaghren.

Service is a cornerstone of the 色虎视频’s mission, and the addition of this award is particularly meaningful given that 色虎视频 will celebrate its 175th anniversary this year.

Receiving one of these awards is the highest form of recognition a 色虎视频 alumnus can receive from the university. Recognition can be made for lifetime achievement or for a significant achievement during the pervious year.

Nominees for Alumnus of the Year should be distinguished in their professional careers, community and church involvement, and in their ongoing service to and financial support of 色虎视频. To be eligible, graduates must have completed at least one 色虎视频 degree at least 15 years prior to selection (2001 or earlier).

Nominees for Outstanding Young Alumnus also should be distinguished in their professional careers, community and church involvement, and in their ongoing support of 色虎视频. To be eligible, graduates must have completed at least one 色虎视频 degree within the last 10 years (2006 or later).

Nominations can also be submitted in writing to the Office of Alumni Programs, 800 Lakeshore Drive, Birmingham, AL 35229.

“The Alumni Association’s awards committee eagerly awaits the nominations for these prestigious and notable awards,” McCaghren said.
